Compassion is something you feel for something below you. A political movement dedicated permanently to being conservative must have some sort of game plan that involves keeping a certain segment of society in a position that deserves compassion, wouldn't you think?

smart, but bulshit. It might as well deal with the said segment of society in a compassionate way, up to the point where it is deemed not needing compassion anymore, then the political movement might reconfigure itself to something more relevant to the new set of circumstances. There's no reason why a political movement might desire to be endlessly self-sustaining, and in fact, most of the prominent political movements in recent history made it a point to outline the fact that they have been brought to existence due to the demands of the times, and when times change, they might have outlived their usefulness.
However, I have to agree that 'compassion' presupposes a moral highground and all that
